Thanks much to dickinsonbeer for this growler...
Appears a hazy amber with a small off white head that stays for a moment before fading into some scattered lacing around the glass.
Smell is of light orange hops and diacetyl sweet butter and sugary malts. Not an offensive butter bomb but sort of annoying.
Taste is of light pils malt with a bit of caramel and toffee standing out in the buttery batch.
Mouthfeel is sugary sweet with the English yeast strain(most likely ringwood) getting the best of this brew.

Yes, this is indeed a different beer than Kestrel's Joy IPA.
A deep copper body, sharply clear, topped by three fingers of creamy off-white froth. Good looking lacing.
Nose is filled with an abundance of incredibly fresh citrus. Like inhaling an orchard. I think I have pulp in my nose.
A sweet creek of malt lurks at the bottom of each taste, riding straight up the middle of the tongue. The hops are roaring in right from the get-go though, and the stake a claim to every other portion of the mouth. Not abrasive or caustic, just big, fresh, and juicy. And they linger... I suspect until breakfast.
Nice medium mouthfeel. Wonderful drinkability.
With each new beer I try, I come to appreciate this brewpub more.
